Notices for this week (24th August 2018)

No BBQ this Sunday evening, 26th August Please note that here will be no food served before the evening service this week. However, tea, coffee, and cake will be available from 6:00pm and the service will start at 6:15pm.

Weekend Away 2018 (5-7th October 2018) The online booking form is available here so please do sign up as soon as possible as we will need to confirm numbers in September. Leaflets are also available at the back of church – please put any completed forms in the ‘Donations’ box or hand to a member of the staff team.

London Women’s Convention 2018 (9:30am to 2:30pm, Saturday 13th October) To a damaged and decaying world Christ offers the resurrection hope of new birth and an inheritance that will never fade, spoil or die. Clare Heath-Whyte will be speaking on the first chapter of 1 Peter and helping us discover more about this glorious hope and how we can and should live in the light of it.

We are hoping to take a group of women from St John’s to this year’s Convention. We have booked tickets for the ‘Daylight’ session at a cost of £25 per ticket. Please email or speak to Kerry if you are interested in coming along.

Summer Central (8:00pm, Wednesday 29th August) Our last Summer Central will meet at 8:00pm on Wednesday for a short bible study and time of prayer. No meal beforehand but, as usual, there will be plenty of tea, coffee & cake!

Help needed on day-to-day finance issues (wef September 2018) We are very grateful to Roger Staton for all his work with finances in the office for the last seven years or so. As he stands down in September, we are looking for someone who can help with financial bookkeeping: logging transactions, reconciling them with bank statements, and paying invoices.

This could be done by more than one person, so any help that can be offered in this area would be appreciated. It would be an advantage to be able to come into the office for a few hours or up to a day or two per week, but this work could also be done at home. Full training will be provided but being comfortable working with numbers would be helpful! Please email the Office for more information.

Help needed with English Language Classes (10:00-11:30am, Tuesdays from 18th September) We’re looking for more people to join our team to help welcome, serve tea and coffee etc on Tuesday mornings in term time. Please speak to Gussie Staton or email [email protected] for more information.

Sign up for the St John’s podcast here So you can listen to all our previous talks and catch up on any that you’ve missed if you’ve been away or unable to come to church for any reason.

Urgent needs this week are: tinned tomatoes, tinned fruit, tinned meat e.g. Fray Bentos pies, chicken in sauce, corned beef, ham, long life (UHT) milk, deodorant, toothpaste, coffee, and rice.
